Mike Arrington ^[1], the founder of TechCrunch ^[2] had been working for over an year on a super cool Tablet PC called Crunchpad. However, two days before the product debut, Mike got into a disagreement with the partnet company Fusion Garage and the whole project imploded and the Crunchpad never saw the light of the day.

^[3] Fusion Garage, however, have gone ahead to rename and re-market the Crunchpad as JooJoo ^[4].

The JooJoo tablet PC is 12.1 inch widescreen , multi-touch tablet with a 1Ghz Atom processor and 1 GB RAM. It runs a custom Linux OS targeted towards Internet browsing and has Wifi 802.11b/g capability as well as an in-built accelerometer for all the iPhone-like cool features. Other standard tablet PC features include Bluetooth, USB ports, Speakers and a micro-phone. It has a 4GB SSD as opposed to Flash RAM present in most mobile devices. ^[5]

Originally priced at $200, JooJoo is now available for pre-order ^[6] from it’s site at $500. Although this is one of the more cooler looking devices out there, a 250% increase in price for a gadget running Open Source software and no special features like support for 3G or TV/HDMI output maybe slightly over the top.
